Poop Poop Poop!!!

Taco Bell!!!

You might need a C-section or episiotomy to make this come through. Best wishes.

not to LOL but this ^^^

but really EAT or drink PRUNES! I have 2 prunes and a fiberone brownie every morning with my tea and it keeps me regular. I have always had lots of problems in this department.

Like others have said, please go see a doctor. This may continue to happen (it's common with post-gallbladder surgery) but 20 days is beyond the norm.

dr!

When I can't go i have a few vodka and redbulls and a *kitten*. works every time for me!

I think you can have something like up to 50grams of fiber so I'd add more fiber. Also, lots of things have fiber that will bind you up. Like fiber one bars can actually be binding in the long run. Veggies and Fruits...best fiber around!

Eat sweet potatoes with skin. This works for me like a charm. Also kale/spinach/carrot/apple/pear juice together works too.

Do they still call them *kitten* in some places? Cool!

A cig does work every time, huh? Hahaha!

Ooooo... i forgot, mainly people that aren't UK based here - CIGARETTE! I mean a ciggie But yes, nicotine, not that im suggesting anyone start smoking.... just in my experience lol

This happens to me, I have went to see my Dr about it, turns out that I do not need the reccommended fiber intake - if I eat that or more it works opposite than the way you would think. I suggest you go to yours but until you can get in there... Boiled cabbage, instant coffee, tons of water, the Q-Tip with vaseline (which was brought up) works wonderfuly.

I hope you can get this resolved its a horrible feeling. Good luck!

i poop multiple times a day. i can't imagine just once in 20 days. sounds like you need to make a trip to el doctoro!!!!

I just realized I came back to this thread to see if there was any poop progress... Kinda awkward... I'm turning off mfp now. Lol

I'm sure this get's brought up all the time but plan and simple I can not poop. It's going on almost 20 days with only 1 small BM. I eat 25 grams of fiber and all that goes is give me terrible gas. I know I do not eat enough veggies. I had my gallbladder out a year ago and this has been an issue every since. I thought without a gallbladder it was supposed to be the opposite. I hate to rely on laxatives but I am starting to feel huge and heavy and already sickish in the AMs. Any easy/fast remedies? TIA!

I've had a similar problem, the solution; exercise, at least 9 glasses of water and lots of fruit and veggies. The laxatives will turn your colon black so I wuldn't use those as a solution.

I've been having some trouble too, but after reading all of these posts... I think I need to go now. :laugh:

curious how it worked out..

This happened to me a few summers ago. I went like once every 2 weeks. I gained FIFTEEN pounds! I went to the doctor and she had me doing really horrible things involving sticking things in my butt...NOT OK.
I went to the GI and he put me on a regime of citricel and stool softeners 2x/day. It really helped, but took awhile to normalize.
I also used to drink Ginger tea (the one from Yogi Tea), and it always got me going.

I know how uncomfortable it is, so hang in there! Also, not eating at night seemed to help me. Good luck! Keep us updated on your poop status
